Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

Hi all, does anyone else just feel like life is just one big sh!t show? It's just one thing after another, constant drama, family issues, money struggles, stress, anxiety it's just always something.

When do things get easier, do things ever change?

I've been through more than i care to think about in my life but today has pushed me to breaking point and it's bringing up alot of bad memories of previous suicide attempts.

I just feel like it's not worth it, it's not worth fighting, not worth hanging on anymore.

Re: Battles

It's one of those nights when I'm unable to sleep with a million things racing through my head. So here's a little something that I just wrote, a little story of one of the relationships I escaped. Please know that I'm safe, this is my way of getting things out of my head.

Not sure if this needs a trigger warning.

You told me how to act

You told me how to walk

You controlled where I went

But I wasn't allowed to talk.

You never left me alone

So you could be sure I'd never tell

You'd monitor my phone

This life had become my hell.

I pleaded and I begged

I wanted you to set me free

But instead you locked me up

And you threw away the key.

It didn't matter what I did

You just kept abusing me

You paraded me around

Like I was some sort of trophy.

Days and nights went by

So many tears I cried

I wanted to please you

God knows how hard I tried.

Till one day I saw my chance

This was the time to run

I needed to get away

This relationship was done.

I'll never forget what you did to me

To you it was all just a game

You didn't care the pain you caused

Cos of you I'll never be the same.

The trauma that I'm left with

It haunts me everyday

You left me with scars

But I was lucky to get away.

Re: Battles

Thankyou @rav3n ❤️. Those memories are definitely heavy and even more so when my mental health is spiralling. I was told today that cos I'm an adult i should be coping, that cos I'm older I'm not struggling as much and that I can keep everything together. When the truth is I'm not coping, I am struggling and I sure as hell don't have everything together 😞. I know that I'm an adult and God how I wish I had my sh!t together and that i didn't struggle like I do. But I don't think my feelings or struggles are any less valid just cos of my age. Am I wrong in this thinking?

I'm safe, just lost and hurt and feeling emotional and fragile.

Re: Battles

i'm with bunniekins, your age doesn't make you feelings and experiences any less valid @MissGremlin, i'm sorry to hear that others have made you question that.

you're not any less worthy for struggling or needing support, it makes you just as human as the rest of us 💙
